Everyone found that no, Zhang Jiayi and You Yong, both changed their names. One was changed to Zhang Jiayi, and one was changed to You Yongzhi.
And the two of them, not only changed their names, but even the drama road also changed.
Especially You Yong, oh no, it should be called You Yongzhi now, his change is really a bit big.
Because before this, in the impression of more audiences, he was known for "playing handsome" and "pretending to be cool".
You Yongzhi was born on December 13, 1963 in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province. Since he was a child, he has been quite handsome and often praised, and he himself knows this, so he is always proud.
In 1980, at the age of 17, You Yongzhi became a student at the Xi'an Drama Theatre.
And just when he first debuted, China's showbiz circle was blowing up a "cool handsome tough guy style". The source of this gust of wind comes from a Japanese actor whose name is Ken Takakura.
In 1976, Ken Takakura co-starred in the movie "The Hunt", together with Ryoko Nakano, Yoshio Harada, Kuniaki Tanaka and other actors. When the film was released in China in 1978, it caused a huge sensation. Du Qiu, played by Ken Takakura, the tough guy image of the man who did not talk much, instantly entered the hearts of the audience, and even peaked everyone's previous aesthetics.
Before this, the small students who frequently appeared on the screen were Tang Guoqiang, Zhu Shimao, Zhang Lianwen, Zhang Guomin, and other big handsome men with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a righteous face.
Therefore, at that time, the young students of the film studio drama troupe all worked hard to lean in the direction of Tang Guoqiang, Zhu Shimao and others. In fact, at the beginning, You Yongzhi also wanted to take this road, and hoped that one day, he could become a handsome little student with red lips and white teeth in the movie.
But who could have imagined that at this time, after the release of "The Hunt", Ken Takakura appeared, and everyone began to take the "type man" route. So those little students who were originally red lips and white teeth had to tan their fair skin and train their thin and weak bodies into muscle blocks in order to adapt to the requirements of male actors in the new situation.
You Yongzhi debuted under such circumstances. In appearance, he also has many similarities with Ken Takakura.
In 1984, he was admitted to the Acting Department of Shanghai Theater Academy with the first place in the professional subjects of the Northwest Examination District, and graduated in 1988.
And his first role on the screen was to play a policeman, a standard cool handsome tough guy, in the movie "The Price of Madness".
Immediately after, he played Bai Peiwen in "Courtyard Deep", and played Rod Sheng in "Crazy", and he was also a cool and handsome tough guy image, and his partners were also beautiful stars like Song Jia, Xu Qing and so on. In these movies, You Yongzhi can vigorously "pretend to be cool" in order to achieve the effect of "handsome, cool, and simply incomparable" as Zhao Benshan later said in the sketch.
Let's take a look at the star photos taken by You Yongzhi at that time, and this feeling is clear at a glance.
In fact, at that time, not only You Yongzhi was taking the road of "playing handsome" and "pretending to be cool", I think eighty percent of male stars were doing this, because at that time, the big screen and small screen needed this type of actor.
Therefore, these male actors have a unified feature, that is, they always put themselves up, hold them high, and always feel that they are "beautiful", giving the audience a feeling, just two words: special fake.
In this way, the distance between them and the audience will seem relatively distant. And the audience is often "respectful" to such actors. Everyone can watch this actor as a play, but they will certainly not like and appreciate him in their hearts. Who has always been the actor that everyone really likes? It's Li Xuejian, why, because he doesn't pretend, because he's grounded, because he has affinity.
Unfortunately, many actors at that time did not understand this truth.
Fortunately, after 30 years of professional "pretending to be cool", You Yongzhi finally realized this.
Especially in the past two years, he has become more and more like returning from the clouds to real life.
His body began to have fireworks, and people became cute.
In 2014, he starred in the TV series "One Servant and Two Lords" starring Zhang Jiayi and Yan Ni, and played the role of Meng Laicai, which let us see a different You Yongzhi. Then in the TV series "Ordinary World" based on Lu Yao's novel, he played Tian Fujun again, reflecting the multiple possibilities of an actor.
Not long ago, he performed with a kind of "rebirth", presenting us with a real and thick character, that is, Diao Dajun in "Loading the Stage". In this TV series that brings together Zhang Jiayi, Yan Ni, Chen Xiaoyi and many other powerful old drama bones, You Yongzhi's performance is also remarkable.
With his natural and vivid acting skills, he has played Diao Dajun, a professional "pretending to be cool" for 30 years, but in the end only the gamblers who are "empty of people and money" are vividly interpreted. Especially the scene before his death, it simply reached the textbook level, which made people look at it with a broken heart.
Through "Loading the Stage", we have come to realize a completely different You Yongzhi. Let us see a You Yongzhi who is no longer "pretending to be cool", who originally has such a deep performance skill.
What surprised us even more was that this time in "Mountains and Seas", we once again saw his cooperation with Zhang Jiayi and Yan Ni and others. This time, he played a role he had never played before— the shrewd and calculating Uncle Dayou.
The key is that in this drama, his performance is still full of comedy, making his professional "cool" 30 years of achievements, the previous achievements abandoned. Where is this a "handsome male star", what to do?
Whether it is the rogue appearance of him escaping home with the first batch of hanging villagers and shouting in front of Defu, "If you don't go, don't go", or the conceited look that he thinks he is very shrewd when Defu calls on everyone to raise double spore mushrooms to get rich, it is so exquisite and unbearable.
In the episode that aired yesterday, You Yongzhi's performance is very eye-catching. When DEBAO became the first mushroom farmer in the village, pulled the scooter to water, met his own hair xiao shuiwang on the road, and drove the tractor bought with a loan back to the village. The two little friends were greeting each other, and they climbed out of the body of the tractor and climbed out of Uncle Dayou, who was still wearing a pair of sunglasses. Then he taught Debao a serious lesson, and called Debao a stupid boy, as if he was the best in the whole world.
When the tractor drove into the village, the villagers all looked at the strange surroundings, but uncle Dayou was beautiful, only to see his triumphant look, just like the leader's review, and constantly waved to his partners, laughing at me so much that I almost lost my breath.
And when Debao mushrooms earned a lot of money and became the first person in the village to get rich, he began to blush and regret it again. Even taking advantage of the fact that no one was ready, he quietly took a few of Debao's double spore mushrooms and secretly put them in his pocket. This small action immediately reflects the characteristics of the character's slippery head.
Back home, the scene of frying the double spore mushroom also made people laugh badly. He first put the whole mushroom into the pot and fried it, thinking it was not right, then fished it out and cut it into slices, and then returned to the pot, the impatient but very clumsy look, it really made people feel real and interesting.
Uncle Dayou in "Mountains and Seas" is a very self-righteous "thorn head", who likes to play a small and clever role, not a likable character, but is vividly interpreted by You Yongzhi.
In my opinion, this is the best role that You Yongzhi has played since he was an artist, except for Diao Dajun in "Loading Stage".
An actor who no longer only knows how to "pretend to be cool" and "handsome", but begins to shape the role with his heart, is worthy of our respect and pursuit.
Compared with the cool You Yong before, we prefer the current grounded You Yongzhi.
In fact, the current You Yongzhi has indeed ushered in his good time. Just this year, just at the beginning of the year, he has 4 dramas presented to us, and the performance in these dramas is very eye-catching. In these 4 dramas, he played the roles of Yuan Procurator General in "Circuit Procuratorial Group", Diao Dajun in "Loading Platform", Wang Qi in "Great Qin Fu", and Li Dayou in "Mountains and Seas".
This shows that the spring of good actors has really come.
